FROSTBURG, MD. - - DEC. 14, 1912
TALE OF TWO CITIES.
There was a time in New York City
when there was great popular oppo
sition to the building of the elevated
railway system.
And still later the same unfriendly
attitude toward the subway system.
In both instances, many believed
that they were not only dangerous in
novations, but unnecessary.
But they have been instituted, and
now nobody would think of doing
without them.
So with the Belt Fine, which looks
to some folks, especially some of those
already favored , as something not
wanted.
But, with the Belt Fine completed,
in less than two years nobody, not
even the electric-railway company,
would entertain for a moment a sug
gestion of dropping it as a public
utility.
A Big Enterprise.
G. Victor Fammert, son of ex-Mayor
Peter Fammert, has added 1,500 peach
trees to his orchard of 1,100, near Mt.
Savage, now a plant of 2,600 trees in
all.
In selecting and arranging this or
chard Mr. Fammert has availed him
self of the latest developed experi
ences in fruit culture—choice of soil,
exposure, etc., and undoubtedly it will
prove a profitable venture.
This Paper.
Rev. A. Homrighaus, of Detroit,
Mich., indulges the following compli
mentary message, for all of which the
Journal is reciprocally grateful:
“Having read the Mining Journal
since 1879, I have not yet learned how
to do without it in the current years
of the 20th century.
“But to read it means also to pay
for it.
“That is horse logic.
“Hence, I enclose check forsl, with
best wishes for Christmas and all of
the New Year.
“In peace, may my head now on its
pillow be laid,
Because my whole debt to ‘The Great
Paper” is paid.”
